My Twitter Handle: @MichLovesMoney
Every Monday at 6:00 pm MTN I host a Twitter space where we discuss different topics related to podcast monetization that I cover in the newsletter. The Twitter Space has been created to:
Build community
Validate your goal of monetizing your work
Connect podcasters with other people in the space
What I tweet about regularly
Personal Finance and Social Equity
Pop culture-I love Star Trek! Strange New Worlds and The Boys are living rent free in my mind.
Politics as related to policy
Colorado
Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.
Free Subscribers
You are getting a small taste of what’s included in the paid subscription. I’ve created the paid subscription instead of a course because of the following:
Monetization is a long-term strategy
Most people need ongoing support and ideas before the right strategy/strategies work for the podcaster and their audience.
I wanted to create an affordable and accessible tool for everyone-courses are more expensive upfront.
10 Tips to Find Freelance Jobs
These tips work for all content spaces. I do want to point out that earnings may vary based on your expertise, the organization that you decide to write for and what you negotiate. Some content spaces pay more than others.
Tell people in your content space that you’re looking to add freelance writing to your brand. A closed mouth doesn’t get fed.
Create the written content YOU would like to be hired for on YOUR website. This approach helps you build out a writing portfolio quickly.
Attend conferences-Many conferences host hiring events or networking events that connect attendees with brands looking to collaborate. If your favorite conference doesn’t offer this resource reach out to the conference organizers and share this idea. Or, organize it yourself offsite (can be as easy or as difficult as you make it) Once that’s done, begin networking. These collaborations could be the following:
Brand partnerships
Creating white hat content-Like the video series I was hired to do for Experian.
Written content for websites
